Double D Challenge - Easter

I'm not sure I've entered the Double D Challenge before but I saw their mood board on someone else's post and it inspired me to make this.

The tulips and jar are from an early PTI set and are stamped on Bristol and colored with Zigs.  They are so tall I had to make a Monarch card (3.5 by 7) for them to fit.  I didn't want a white background so I got out my gel plate and brayered Distress Ink in Salt Water Taffy and Squeezed Lemonade onto Hammermill coverstock.  The little tag is from MCS (no longer in business) and it's tied on with some hemp cord. 

Have a blessed Easter everyone.

Just Us Girls #595 - Wild Card

It's Wild Card Week at Just Us Girls and Ina is hosting.  Here's what she picked for the challenge.

Having lots of tags since I was once on a Tag Design Team, I decided to make use of one of them.

The tag die is from PTI .  I cut a square to fit inside and blended on some Distress Ink. The little forget-me-nots are from The Greetery watercolored with DI.  I added a sentiment from Penny Black and some ages old baker's twine. 

You have lots of options for this challenge so I hope you'll enter.  Check out what the Design Team and our guest Chrissie have done.

CAS(E) This Sketch #373

I don't know why this card design suddenly popped into my head but I'm glad it did because it works perfectly for CAS(E) This Sketch.

The background from CF is heat embossed in white and colored with Antique Linen, Old Paper and Pumice Stone Distress Ink.  The matching flower was painted with Fossilized Amber and placed over a strip (it looks more like pumice stone IRL) that was heat embossed with a CB sentiment.  I originally had a pink flower but didn't like it so I will be making another background in a different colorway to use it.  With 20 cards going out every two weeks, I need all the generic cards I can make.

Thanks for visiting today.  Have a great day and stay safe.

Addicted to Stamps and More #251

Our most popular challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More is the Anything Goes challenge.  I wonder why? ;)  Maybe because there are no parameters?  So there's no excuse not to enter.

For my card I used one of my NBUS Stamp of Approval sets.

I know someone who's going to love the colors used 😉- Fog, Smoke and Charcoal with a touch of black for the MSE sentiment.  I realized too late that I had Soft Granite or I would have used it too.

Check out what the rest of the Design Team has done to inspire you and then enter your card in the gallery.  We'd love to see you there.
